As expected, Wasteland 2 was
approved by Kickstarter. It has
already been funded for over one million one hundred thousand USD when they only set out to get 900 000 USD. Wasteland 2 is
for real now. It took them all of two days to get the most money ever on Kickstarter. Do I dare to get excited about this? ...

I’m personally a big fan of the Wasteland series from having played the original game in the late 80s; I’ve also always admired Brian Fargo’s courage to experiment with new designs and game engines from my time working with him in the early days of BioWare when we worked with Interplay, and as a result I’m really looking forward to seeing the next game in the Wasteland series!

Hats off to Fargo and inXile, I'm definitely putting my money down when they start up their Kickstarter fund, and I'll donate just as much as I did to Double Fine. Give me Wasteland 2 already.

Brian was one of the pioneers for the computer RPG with games like Bard's Tale and Wasteland. I would be very excited to see what Brian could achieve with a sequel to such a classic like the first Wasteland.
